Australia argues against ‘endangered’ status for Great Barrier Reef
"Australia's environment minister has said she will fight against a UNESCO decision to add the Great Barrier Reef to a list of endangered World Heritage Sites, Australian environment minister tanja tilby sex said the criticisms of her government's inaction on climate change were not justified. If the Great Barrier Reef is in danger, then every coral reef in the world is in danger. If this World Heritage Site is in danger, then most World Heritage Sites around the world are in danger from climate change. Kill the sec insisted the Australian government were doing all they could to save the reef. There is no need to single out the Great Barrier Reef in Australia because there is no government taking the risks to coral reefs more seriously than the Australian government. Scientist Jody rummer disagreed. We can not claim to be doing all we can for the reef at this point we aren't. We need to be setting that message

"Now is the mastermind behind turning point action Tyler boy or TP action dot com and also turning point pack and it seems to be we're getting a lot of attention in local Arizona press it seems. Oh my gosh, they are obsessed. This is like they like it. I think they like it. 10,000 10,000 word piece. So Tyler, people are asking, what are the top races that we have to focus on across the country? What are the target races that turning point pack is focused on, especially in the last 6 days before the election? Well, I mean, Charlie, there's a lot going on. And the reason why turning point action is in 6 target states is for a real great reason. It's not just for this year, but also for 2024. So we got Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, Florida, and Ohio. Which are kind of the traditional states. And then these four new states, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan are critic key critical to winning the presidency in 2024. And then also ensuring that we're ringing the gong ahead of this next ten year redistricting cycle, right? So there's a number of different races that are happening right now in those four states that are really important to be aware of. If you aren't aware of it, we will help make you aware.

Doctor rich McCormick is going to win there as well. The real, the real bellwether. I wouldn't call it a bellwether, but the race to pay attention to in Georgia is Georgia two. Where's that Chris west that's been making Georgia? And if that flips, I think that's a D plus two district. If that flips, then the good things are happening in Georgia that we need.

"jody" Discussed on Leading Saints Podcast
"Imagine finding this podcast for the first time? And this is your first episode that you're listening to and that I never explain what leading saints is. So I'm going to do that now, leading saints is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Latter day Saints be better prepared to lead. And one of the main ways we do that is through this podcast, the leading saints podcast, which you should subscribe to, leave a review, all those things that podcasters ask you to do. You should do that. And we also have a website leading saints dot org, great articles on there, and we also have a weekly newsletter that you can sign up that I've probably talked about at the beginning of this episode. And we do events, live events, virtual events. That's what leading saints is. And you found this episode, we're grateful that you're here and we have a remarkable conversation to share with you today. I talk with Jody Moore. Jody Moore is a life coach based out of Spokane Washington. She is a phenomenal, just a great perspective on things. Really helpful in personal development, thought management. So check her out at Jody Moore dot com, but I listened to her podcast pretty faithfully. And a few months ago, she had this podcast called expectation pain. And I talked about it a little more in this conversation. But when I heard this, I thought, oh man, this is so needed. This concept that understanding of this concept is so needed in the context of leadership because I get the emails and bless your heart. You're welcome to send me these emails when sometimes you're deeply disappointed in the leadership that you're experiencing. The leaders in maybe your ward or stake. And this is frustrating and you see that they could fix so many problems so easily if they would just do a B or C it's so easy to disengage or give up or think why am I even doing this? Why am I serving on the word counsel? Why am I trying to help this ward in some way when I just get shut down or leadership is so frustrating? So I wanted to talk to Jody about this concept of expectation pain when we have certain expectations for our leaders and they don't live up to them. What are we doing that scenario? How can we make a war that just feels flat

People Need to Cut Biden Some Slack Over Gun Control
"Jody, am I crazy? I get what Biden's approval ratings are and some of the complaints in this and that, but I'm like, this guy has done amazing. I just don't get it. He's starting to sing job given what he inherited. And I just thought, well, and the lack of support in Congress. This was the first gun legislation we've had in 30 years. Is it enough for any of us know, of course not? No. But given the numbers we have, it's the first gun legislative anything. It's better than nothing. You had exactly. First of all, I don't want to speak for anybody who's lost someone in gun violence. Mister Oliver, who was at the signing ceremony, has. So I understand the raw emotion and all that. But again, you're heckling the wrong person. He heckled Joe Biden in the middle of signing something that we've never at least is a start, right? And I just, I don't get it. I mean, I get the emotion of this is not enough, and we have to do more, but Joe Biden agrees with you. He has said, we need an assault weapons ban, like we passed when he was a senator. But what? Oh, yes. Can we have that? Yes. The president. Okay. Saw weapons need to be banned. They were banned. I led the fight in 1994. Not under pressure in the gun manufacturers and others that ban was lifted in 2004. And that ten years it was law, mass shootings went down. The law expired in 2004, and those weapons were allowed to be sold again, mass shootings, tripled. They're the facts. I'm determined to ban these weapons again and high capacity magazines and all 30 rounds. And to let mass shooters fire hundreds of bullets in a matter of minutes. I'm not going to stop until we

Steve Bannon Is Trying Too Little Too Late
"And by the way, Steve Bannon, Rachel maddow said the same thing we did. What's the thing we says signal not noise. He's just all noise. She was saying, it's not important. It really isn't. He's just clearly trying to of course. Because he scared now, because now his trial is starting, and now there's going to be real consequences. So he's trying to and first of all, we don't negotiate with terrorists. We're not going to put him or roads on live. Yeah. Right. So that they can try to blow up the garage. You don't get to pick your rules for your deposition. And how about the heel eye? First place is lawyer committee lied to Trump didn't even wave it. Privilege that he didn't have any way, but he didn't even do that, so they lied about that in the first place, but yeah, right, that's what I said. Yes, Glenn kirshner, our buddy our pal said Steve Bannon's 11th hour attempt to testify as a ruse, a ploy. He wants to use this offer of testimony to argue to a jury that they should not convict him, but this nonsense is like a bank robber offering to give back the money they stole as a defense to the crime. It will not work. A couple others hang on hold please. Okay. Oh. Chris Holmes said Steve Bannon thinks he's smart. He's not. He's a traitor, a grifter, and a con man who's about to be exposed for what he is. And Marcia won the last one, said, why does The Washington Post report this as if Trump has privileged to waive he doesn't? This is such a colossal editorial failure, and we wonder why democracy is dying. Some media seem determined to ignore the facts in order to create a story where none exists. Yeah, it didn't have it in the first place. Trump didn't even run. So the whole thing is just him going, oh crap, I don't want to actually go to prison. Because now he's like, doesn't have Trump there to pardon him, right? And no matter what he says now, the crime has been committed. He ignored. We already did it. It's done. Right. There's no take back season. Right. They're saying it doesn't matter anything you do now. You can't go back to the crime. You're already committed contempt, right?

Bob Cesca Doesn't Understand Why People Are Willing to Die for Trump
"So your thoughts on what we've heard so far from everybody thus to this point regarding January 6th. I mean, your thoughts about the people testifying and what's been said so far. The thing I can't get beyond Jody is the bigger picture, which is that so many people, whether we're talking about the foot soldiers on the ground who did all the hard work, or the people in the inner circle who planned this whole coup. I still can't believe that they took this caliber of risk in support of this game show host con man. That's the thing that has always confounded me that all of this that we're going through right now. These hearings and all the trouble, grand juries and investigations. And people going to prison. I mean, for good stretches of time in some cases, it's all in service of Donald Trump. There was a clip from last Thursday nights. I think it was our two when they were covering the Proud Boys. There was a clip from one of the insurrectionists. I think it was inside the rotunda of the capitol building, and they were on camera phone and the guy said, I'm willing to lay down my life if it requires it. Is it that for Donald Trump? For that ridiculous cartoon character from New York City that we've been making fun of for 50 years for God's sake. As long as I've been around, Donald Trump has been this. This goofball, who, you know, no one really takes all that seriously. And maybe that was part of the problem. Maybe all of that, that finger pointing and laughing is what caused all of it. But I don't know, I don't think so. I think this is all about his basic inability to accept

From Nixon to Trump: Is Donald Relying on Watergate Precedent?
"Jamie Raskin said he doesn't intend to browbeat Merrick Garland, but he noted the committee has already laid out in legal pleadings criminal statutes that they believe Donald violated. I think he knows his staff knows the U.S. attorneys know what's at stake here. They know the importance of it, but think that he thinks they were rightfully playing paying close attention to precedent in history as well as the facts of the case. I agree with that. But we can't Nixon got away with it. And this led to Donald Trump, I think. Yeah. I'm watching Watergate because the 50th anniversary of the break in is this year. Is this month, I think. And so there's a lot of stuff right now and gas lit just ended yesterday. So good. The guy that plays Lydia is fantastic. Yes. So I mean, this is watching that and just kind of, because I was little at the time, I was just a weird little 5 year old. But Nixon did get away with it. And on Barbara mcquade and Joel wine banks is hashtag sisters in law podcast. They were banting about should criminal charges be brought and the importance of that not happening just means then people are above the law. Right. And proving it in the court of law is different than I really do feel as much as Adam Schiff doesn't think it's happening and I respect him like crazy. I do think they're investigating it. It would be remiss of them not to. 100% believe that they are. You know, and Garland is very good at being quiet about things. And I like that about him. And he's conservative so the fact that he has brought up seditious conspiracy charges for such a conservative DoJ. That's a big charge. That's a huge charge. It's almost impossible to prove, so I think that because he's doing that, he is going. He's looking into what Donald knew and when he knew it. And it looks like the committee has set the stage for Donald's defense not to work going on in no.

Fox Fails on Day 1 of Jan. 6 Hearings
"Apparently on Fox News didn't do so well. First off, they didn't have the commercials. No. Secondly, they didn't have the ratings. No. They had their normal rating. Exactly. I'm a parent. This has got a bump. Actually, I believe their ratings were down. They were down. They went down that guy because people were tuning in to where they could actually see the coverage of Fox business got a bump. So people did want to see that watch their program and Devin Nunez got it wrong. Yes. Howard Kurtz had to correct Devin Nunes because he said to put this in prime time, the numbers were way down. So I don't understand how these big corporations, I know it was spread across some 20 different networks when you compare Fox News, which didn't air it live. It just destroyed CNN and MSNBC, right? And Kurtz went, no. Actually, no. Computer says no. Compute says no. The networks like MSNBC did very well covering the hearing Kurtz noted. Two Devin's face, obviously it would appeal to the liberal viewers of that network. Devon. Devin.

Bill Barr Rubbishes Trump’s Claims of Fraud in Video Testimony
"And you said earlier before we were on air, about Republicans testifying via video this early. I agree with you. That was kind of incredible to see Bill Barr number one son up there. One of the things that surprised me is last night, the clips that they chose to show, right? They put on two live witnesses and we can talk about them. But the videotape testimony they chose to show was largely Republicans who are incriminating Donald Trump, which I think is a very smart move because it at least draws some of the politics out of it. I did not expect to see Bill Barr as the first video witness in last night's hearing. But when he said, Donald Trump's claims of election fraud work bull S and I told him so, right from jump Jody, when we heard that clip that what that does, is it proves Donald Trump's corrupt intent.

Kay Wyma: How to Move Kids From Mediocrity, Past 'Good Enough'
"Let's go back to that question, though, is good enough. I mean, when you have a child, let's say they're capable, 12, 13, and they're missing a lot of that. Accuracy, cleaning the bathroom, for example, when you use that one, everything's clean, but the sink and maybe the toilet and you're going, okay, this has to get done. And they don't like doing it. They don't like mopping. They don't like whatever. How do you move them from that mediocrity to something? That's a little better. Something that they are able to do, like you said, maybe not a child that is unable to do that for whatever reason. But you know this child is capable of it. And they're just choosing not to do it. How do you move that 13 year old? 14 years. Of course you go to the 13 and 14. It's really true and you know they're not. And I think a big part of it is putting on these non listening ears. Sweet Jody capehart, who I know you guys know she's so sweet and I asked her one time. How do you do this stuff? And because they push back with the most ridiculous reasons. I don't know how to. And it's like, okay. Everyone here knows that you know how to how to wipe a counter. I don't know how to wipe the counter. I know. And you're thinking, and they say it repeatedly, because as if repeating it actually makes it true. Your clue is apparent that maybe that's not true. I know. And it's sort of like as if I'm Q and you think are we going to do this again? Yeah. And she said to me, don't engage. Don't get in the middle of that stuff. Say it, and walk away. And she's like, I'm not saying not to love your child, but I'm saying, let that stuff bounce off and roll, like Teflon, like don't listen to it and just say yes, you do do it. Do it, do it. And if it's not done, and it depends on the kid, you know, you can throw in it. If it's not done, by this time, sorry, you lose this privilege or whatever system you have in your house that rewards or consequences, what means something to them, individually, there's your card, and stay the course, you know?

Eric and James O'Keefe Discuss Doing the Right Thing
"Hey folks we're talking to the author of American muckraker rethinking journalism for the 21st century. His name is James O'Keefe. James O'Keefe, you just said that a lot of people are scared. This is the issue, right? And so part of it. But what you and I believe, and what many people in history have believed is that there is a God. There is such a thing as truth. And I need to do the right thing because I know that whatever they want to call it, God, the universe will back me up. In other words, that to not do the right thing, ultimately I pay a much bigger price. I sell my soul to the devil so that I don't get in trouble today. And I really do believe, I mean, if I'm speaking in churches, I say that, you know, you should worry about what God thinks. You should fear God. Don't fear what people can do to you or whatever. But we're in a culture now we're doing the right thing is less celebrated. As you're saying, it's kind of, it really is we have been generally and collectively cowed by fear of losing an Instagram account or this or that. And so we are being controlled. And never more than now has it mattered that people say no, no. I will do the right thing. And I, in my position, I would say, I will trust God with my career. With my voice, I have to I have to get serious. What do I believe? And I think people need to be encouraged that when you do the right thing, yeah, it will work out for you in the end, no matter what happens, somehow you can't, you can not really I've written about Dietrich bonhoeffer. He went to the gallows for doing the right thing. But he believed that Jesus defeated death on the cross. Like at the end of the day, you have to decide what you believe. And I think that we're just living in a culture where a lot of people aren't sure. And so they're kind of hanging back and they're letting people like you get handcuffed. Well, I mean, this is you mentioned Bond hoffer. I wrote about Alexander silts and eats and in this book and he talks about in the gulag archipelago, which I heavily cite, because that book kind of changed my mindset and he says, you have a choice to make. You go to one direction you might lose your life. You go to another direction, you go against your conscience. And to follow your conscience and wherever it leads you is important. But it does come down to fear. It comes down to fear of, as you say, fear of God not man, one of our whistleblowers I asked her, Jody, O'Malley, from HHS, this is in September. I said, aren't you afraid? And she said, I fear God not man. But do actually do that. I think is the point. And I spoke at one church, calvary in California. I don't really speak the churches, but my feeling Eric is that maybe Christians are too afraid. And maybe they're not acting out on their faith.

"Last week. We took you through the abduction of jodi play which occurred on february nineteenth of nineteen eighty-four when jody's june let jody's cries instructor. Jeff two-set borrower. Carter run some errands with joanie but they never returned and by the next day a manhunt was underway to find them. Jeff taken jody to los angeles and after a few days the fbi track them down while the induction seemed rather sudden. The truth was jeff. Doucet have been grooming jodi for nearly two years. Jeff disguising himself as a carrying karate teacher. In front of jody's parents. June gary was actually cutting predator in disguise. Jeff was arrested and charged with kidnapping as jody. He was sent back home to his very distraught. Parents does it. Turns out jody's rescue is only the beginning of a harrowing ordeal which was far from over after jody's rescue. He was examined by doctors and the truth about the abuse that he suffered adjusts. Hans was revealed. Jody recalls what it was like returning to school after his kidnapping while remember the first day of school came walking in the gym and everybody was real quiet and they're watching me walk across a gym and i walked up to my friends and they're sitting on the stage and like a couple of the girls. I can see like tears forming in their eyes. And everyone's just kind of sitting there looking at me. And i'm like what y'all look at me like i've been kidnapped or something and then they just start laughing. They realized that okay. I'm the same personnel. Was before i was kidnapped and and they didn't have to worry about me. I was going to be okay. Meanwhile johnny's parents were in the throes of processing the events. the had unfolded. And if you're calling from last week's episode. June and gary push were on the verge of separating have to imagine the anger the sadness and the guilt that they must have been feeling after learning what had been going on in. What jodi had been subjected to jody's dad. Gary took the news especially hard and while we're on the subject. There's more that you need to know about jody's dad gary push my dad. When he was younger he worked at channel two. Wbrc embattled sets the abc affiliate here in baton rouge and so he knew all the people that worked at the tv station. So where are we in the story at this point. Okay well jodi has been rescued. And jeff is still in california and it would take two weeks to extradite him to louisiana the media who is fully engrossed in this tale. Wanted to do a follow up piece to accompany the story. They did about jodi being reunited with his family. And as we explained jody's gerry was very dialed in with the local news. So by dad knew all these people so when i was kidnapped and i was going to be returned. Daddy told him he said. Hey jodie coming back. So when i was returned to new orleans on more it's first they had a camera crew. They're building me being returned and being reunited with my family. So when jeff was ultimately extradited the news planned on covering his return and they intended to capture footage of him arriving at the airport so a couple of weeks later the police went out to california to get jeff to bring him back to baton rouge and channel was going to do a follow up story of the kidnapping and gary being the well-connected guy that he was found out through the grapevine. What time jeff's flight would be landing in baton rouge will one of the program directors. Hold my dad. They're bringing him back tonight at nine and so my dad had this knowledge. So now judy's father knew exactly where jeff was going to be and he knew exactly when he would be there now. The guys didn't think daddy was going to do anything but baby confront him or yellow punch him so channel two the crew up to the baton rouge metropolitan airport and there was two police officers. Mike boorda and bud connors might have been involved with jody's case from the moment june realized jodi had been abducted. The mike burnett is the one that was with. My mother listened to the phone calls. He came walking around the corner and they had the camera setup and there were people that gathered behind the camera to see. Oh what's what's about the happen. What are we going to see. So by this point jody's parents had a report with wti. Mike barnett and he had sat there. With jody's mom helped record the calls. When jeff was still on the run and holding jody. Captive and deputy burnett would also be present when jeff was slated to be delivered to the baton rouge sheriff's department to face charges in jody's abduction and it was this huge scene. There is a massive crowd of people. News cameras everywhere and cops everywhere. So on march sixteenth. Nineteen eighty-four jeff. Do said walked off an american airlines flight flight. Five ninety five from dallas it was escorted by baton rouge deputies. They walked through the airport lobby. And i want to remind our airport security in nineteen eighty-four was nothing like it was today. It was kind of a free for all. You need a ticket to get to the terminal gates and it's really crazy to think about what it was like and how potentially dangerous it was Anyway just to let you know it was a different time. Deputy mike barnett is one of the guys escorting. Jeff doucet and naturally. He's keeping a lookout for anyone in jody's family especially jody's dad gary who've called from our last episode said this to debbie barnett when he found out what jeff had done to his son. My best. kill the motherfucker and mike gary. Look i understand. That's how most parents respond and that was a reaction that was decry upsetting. Just so you think you own. So deputy barnett wants to make sure gary's not there in the crowd for obvious reasons for mike looking for my dad. He's looking at the people in the crowd looking for my dad and he was looking for other parents of some other kids at jeff had admitted to molesting on the on the plane ride home. Yeah there were other victims. According to defense attorney foxy sanders. Half a dozen parents called him with similar stories of abuse involving their children. And jeff doucet anyways back to the airport and this crowd of people gathering to catch a glimpse of this admitted pedophile. Finally jeff was back in. Louisiana was handed off to two police officers one of them being my cornet who keep referencing the other officer named bud. Connor there's a crowd there's cameras as he's being walked in little. Did anyone know jodie's father garry. Was there too. Will mike jeff. Bud come walking around the corner answer coming. The camera filming them resumes on just face and asked curious parallel with the payphones that my dad was on. Jody's dad gary was standing at a payphone in the background. He was actually on the phone with a friend of heads and he was armed by there was a little payphone. He had a baseball cap sunglasses. He had a thirty slows revolver tucked in his boots. And when my dad saw his face he reached he grabs the gun. He told his friend. He said you're going to hear the shot as jeff was being walked through the airport. A wbrc news crew followed behind and the cameraman caught. What happened next suspect through there. Were already my camera. Raced it up to get close up shot of them as i got a close up shot and has he got parallel to me and turned around and shutting. You don't mess with people's kids and we don't want to condone vigilante justice or violence but fucking with someone's kids is a risk to your own safety. Gary prochet had wrapped a newspaper around his thirty eight caliber revolver and he eventually snuck the gun into the airport by putting it into his right boot. There was approximately eight three feet gap between jeff and gary when he aimed and the bullet was fired. Point blank at jeff's right ear. Right after the gun went off the deputy standing next.

"Fame here in our office and digital at so fun i i just i love that. It's like a game education of it. In a way. But i i liked that it may be takes you especially if you live in kansas city kansas or you visit quite a bit it takes you out of that rut of going to the same place all the time because you know it's good and it gives you a chance to kind of explore a little bit beyond with food you know you like but to a different experience such a lot of fun to us yet and we've seen people so we launched the trail back in october and with with roughly fifty locations is what we're telling people you go to one place a week and you've hit all of the locations on the trail over the course of a year and we've seen people doing that we have somebody although they're going to more than one place a week We we have somebody from lawrence kansas. Which is about thirty minutes away. Who completed the trail in about two months. I believe driving from lawrence and going and hitting different spots. But we've seen so many people. And i think that's what you know is the motivation of this trails. We want to showcase our community and the neighborhoods in our community and so a lot of these are small businesses small mom and pop businesses. Immigrant owned businesses. You know so there places that that you know when you're searching for a location. They're probably going to be very under the radar but the taco trail makes him a little bit more accessible than what are easy to find. That is so true there places that you probably would look at it and go. That's probably really good. But i'm just not sure but using using that app it really does guide you to some amazing spots Like i said jesus probably someplace. I would have driven by and not stopped but gosh that art cohen fried taco for breakfast was just absolutely amazing. They they do great things. You're right it's one of those places it's it's it's a window you walk up to. There's no no no indoor. you can't go inside. You sit outside but they create some amazing food and you know you said earlier. There's so many different styles of restaurants and tucker. Is you know. There's the grocery store base. We have several of those. Where you it's it's a it's a top korea you know count a taco counter essentially in a in a grocery store got san antonio is a great one need only show a con Don antonio's there's so many of these So there's so many great experiences you can have that that lesson you you you may have overlooked otherwise so well fitting in. You know as many tacos as you eat into a visit in kansas city. Kansas is definitely a worthy goal. You need to do things to burn off the calories so let's talk a little bit about what visitors to the city can experience when they do come down outside of the amazing food. Yeah so so. We're part of the kansas city metro area. So sometimes people get confused that there are two. Kansas city's there's kinsey missouri. Which is the bigger city kinsley kansas. Where the smaller cousin. And there's some great experiences you can have over here. Are prime visitor. Area is an area called village west. It's on the western side of the metro area So as you're coming in from the west and it is it is I call it our tourist tourism ready area. So there's a lot of hotels out there to stay in the legends outlets. Which is this great outdoor shopping mall where you can have all kinds of experiences A lot of different restaurants out there are sports. Stadiums are out there so if you like nascar racing that's where the nascar track is Our professional soccer both men's and women's play play out there. teams There's the casey monarchs which is our Independent baseball league. So it's a great family experience and you've got some great such some great places to stay out there so great great experiences out there. You know if you want to be more active right now. You know people trying to get outdoors more. There's there's some great things you can do in in our downtown area. We have a mural on your lock that you can take and export some murals The tel kind of the the multicultural story of kansas city. Kansas throughout throughout downtown. We're located along the kansas river. The confluence of missouri and kansas river is at cop point here in in downtown kansas city kansas. So so there's some there's some trails that you can go out and hike down there as well as there's some companies that offer some tours. Urban hikes is a great one where you can go and learn about kind of history in the buildings of of kansas city kansas. We've also got a lake county lake so if you if you like to get on the water you can do that. And and we have a new business just opened its offering clamping so you can stay outside and enjoy enjoy the outdoors and we did some zip-lining while we were there as k c. Has a great spot just outside of the city so if you need a little adrenaline rush. That was so much fun. The girls really enjoyed that. So you're going to find obviously plenty of things to do. And you mentioned the glancing experience which we did and that's at a ranch which it was funny because you're driving through a residential area. And you think your. Gps has to be wrong. Because there's not gonna be a ranch in a quarter mile when you're surrounded by houses but boom there it was and then that glancing experience is is off to the back that you can do horseback riding there as well so some really great outdoor experiences. We love that you know. I think more people are embracing the outdoors in urban settings. Like you say you don't really expect an urban setting to find some of these outdoor experiences. So we're glad to offer some of that here in kansas city kansas in our in our very much city environment. Otherwise it's just such a fun place to visit so alan if people are interested in getting down tasting the taco trail and planning their own visit to kansas city kansas.

"It was looking back. that's obviously a grooming tactic. But you know he was doing his job grooming very well. For those who have never heard the explicit definition of grooming grooming is the action by a pedophile a preparing a child for abuse in one way shape form. We've all seen to catch a predator. Some of them do this via the internet. Some do with children. They have access to like in this case. Eventually after they've gained access and started to procure the fun activities they start to test boundaries. Looking back he gradually made it to where part of our stretching like do a split. Well he would help us do a split and he would be holding the inside of our ties to kinda balances. And i mean that was his way of kind of introducing. You know him being able to touch private area without me raising any flat so looking back that probably has been. He started his grooming. Jeff slowly started to double down when he went to the next level. We were coming home from karate schools because practice one day and he was letting kids drive the car. Yeah the is quote unquote girlfriend's car. And he would he was to schist and we would steer and we would go around the block neighborhood. And that's when he first. Or what. I i really notice and putting his hand in my life on my pizzas and you know. Just like whoa. What's going on but it's been a real big like it was something that was kind of sudden where it could have been brushed off as an accident and things progressed from there from there it gradually went on to more Fondling he actually. We were going crawfish and he had got a hotel room tonight before. There's always like seven eight kids around so there before kids in one bed and then three kids in another bread in jeff but jeff would always put me on the outside so he could turn his back to the other two kids and if you do things that they couldn't see and that this particular night he literally rubbed my penis raw. While i laid in bed trying to pretend like i was asleep. And that's what i was like. Okay now i'm sure decided accident. Jody didn't say anything he was a child. He was confused. And obviously what's happening here. Isn't something an eleven year old mine can process and then it was like a couple of weeks later we were in houston. He said i'm gonna basically almost like dick. That's that's quote unquote and i was like. Why didn't know why he wanted to do that. And that night. That's exactly what he did. He follows through this jody's mom had actually warned him about sexual predators she had shown him a. Psa type film that warned of the dangers of these types of criminals. My mother made just watch it and she wants to be with us and she told me she said look there. Are people out there. That'll do bad things to kids. And it's someone ever does anything you can tell me. Be okay so she warned me so in my brain. I'm thinking this is one of these people balmy warned me about but i'm still ten years old and i knew if i told it would upset my parents despite knowing what jeff was doing was wrong. Jody's young mind was afraid of upsetting his parents. You know this is how children think they will keep pain and abuse to themselves as to not upset adults and children rely on adults for everything. They're vulnerable members of society and sometimes pieces of shit like jeff exploit this to their benefit and that point the abuse continued lamont where he would just perform all sex. Me jeff would do this boldly during karate practice. Everybody doing jumping jacks karate. Flip some push ups and i would go to the bathroom. Then he'd have somebody else leave the class and then he performer will sesame and he did that for about a month then he basically told me he was like sexy not in those words but that's what he told me and that's what he started doing. Predatory a monster. But in the meantime we're still doing fun. Things going to the movies. Go going to the ball. You know so there. Is that kind of cognitive dissonance. Where you're like okay. I don't know. I don't want i don't want to be around him. But he's fun to be around. But what was the catalyst for jeff to kidnap. Jody and take him to california. The answer to that question comes into parts. The first is that jeff was slowly securing more and more access to jodie. My parents split up. And that allowed jeff kinda more access or you know he would offer. I'll bring him home from friday practice. You know you think you could get or whatever. My mother had to get a job ship it. We're clean houses so it just gets a little bit more access to where he was around us a lot more and a lot of people thought in basically from my dad telling everybody that just and my mother were a couple and i tell people all the time. I'm like okay. Even if they were doesn't give him any right to have with any of other children okay but they worked but it had that appears i can see where people think that but my mother and just did not have a romantic relationship. I can assure you that again with a confusion about junin jess relationship. They looked like a couple and had the optics of being a couple. But according to those closest to the case they were never actually a couple outwardly. Jeff presented himself as someone you could trust in someone who came from humble means but really he was dealing with severe money trouble. He was trying to scam people out of money and he was always claiming that it was for the kids. We can't forget the ongoing court case for what she was supposed to appear the day. He left with jodie. But following jody's abduction jeff. Subsequent arrest jefferson exposes. The true predator was jodi had finally been rescued from his grasp in slowly. You could be on the road to healing. Its entire family. Needed to recover from this heart. Wrenching betrayal just. Imagine being julie's parents here's his dad. Gary talking reporters the day jodi was returned to them at the airport as a parent in your position to. Did you learn anything from this. Just how much. I love children. I might be a little bit more protective over protective. I don't know on march first. Nineteen eighty-four. Jody was welcome home by his parents and siblings in the video. They're hugging each other. And they're touching jody's face and you have to understand. There had to have been a moment where they consider that they might never see their son again. And you see video gary june. Brush their hands through jody's hair which remember starkly different to them because it had been dyed black. Here's audio of june at the airport in.

"Weird. This is the word shit. Like why does jeff's mom why she cool with the fact that her son is toting this little boy around and as it turns out jeff had actually introduced jodi and june to his mom several times like the trust building went really really deep here. So you know jody's mom june receives call from jeff's mom and it's like. Oh yeah. don't worry jeff. Jody and it. It probably put her mind at ease for a bit. That being said though. We're learning behind the scenes. It's all a lot more incestuous than it appears and just mom had even watched jodi on a few occasions which meant that jeff's mother would have known all about the relationship and at least known who jodi was so it was sunday when jeff's mom made that call to jody's mom telling june that jeff would bring jody back on monday. While surprise surprise. Monday came money. Went and jodi was not returned monday. We went through his uncle health in texas looking for money to borrow money to get some bus tickets to california california looking for money. What the hell is going on. He was telling his mother he was taking me to new york and his mother helped him get. Some money gave him his older brothers chicken so when he got the california he could get a driver's license under his brother's name again with jeff's mother. You know what the fuck is happening. And we're going to revisit her a little bit later but what we have now here is jeff trying to steal. His brother's identity and his mom is helping him. He's lying saying he's taking jody to new york when he's really going to california so certainly by now you've picked up on the fact that we're not telling you a story about a guy just committing mug fraud or bouncing checks. There's some dark shit that is going on here and trust me. We're to get there by this point. Jodi has not been returned when he was supposed to be and his family was fucking pissed and there were probably afraid and they had no idea that jeff was taking their little boy to california so despite their apparent love and loyalty to jeff. They knew what they had to do. She didn't call the cops me. I mean she had no had no reason to believe. That was gonna take me to california what. I didn't come home the next day. That's what i guess. She called the cops later that afternoon. So as soon as jody's mom. June got the cops involved. The real search for this missing child began in. It exploded into a national search. Meanwhile jeff ditch june's car in texas and his mom surprise surprise helped him get money so jeff. Jody were on a bus headed to los angeles orange texas to los angeles and that's usually more than my mother and members of the battery sheriff's office. They drove to puerto rico finding and they just missed. The days kept passing in the seriousness of the situation kept escalating so by now. Jody been missing for a week and hadn't spoken to his mother in seven days. Jeff meanwhile had shaved his beard indic- jody's hair from blonde to black li revealed that jeff began referring to jodi as son to strangers. They would meet california a week without speaking to my mother. So jeff was like look. Call your mother and let her know. You're okay so i did that. I called my mother let her novels. Okay we were saying we were in new york and at least she knew we were okay. Meanwhile they're taping the phone conversation. She's got sheriff's deputies. Mayor's got police at the house. He's telling her what to say trying to keep him in as long as possible. They're recording the calls by now a national search for jody was underway. The police were trying to keep jodi on the phone as long as possible because they wanted to trace the call to identify their location officers knew about the relationship between jeff and june and use that to their advantage. They had june 'til jeff. Gary might use this to get custody of all the children if you don't bring jody back. Jeff responded if the court gives gary the kids. I'll get them from him. This is starting to get insane and really scary. So he's in california and anaheim california literally a block from disneyland and he called. My mother collect and after that phone call was done. My mother asked for time and charges. The operator came back on the taylor. How long the call was and how much it was going to call. And that's when mike burnett with the bat roost sheriff's office got on the phone and said look. This is a federal investigation of kidnapping. I didn't know exactly. That room came call came from They told them room. Thirty eight motel four fifteen west catella avenue anaheim california's jeff. Joni were at a super eight motel right near disneyland. Which is so ironic. Because that's supposed to be the happiest place on earth law enforcement now knew exactly where they were and while june still had jeff on the phone the fbi and officers were on their way to rescue. Jody she could literally hear what was going on to recall those moments during an interview with. Espn i hear this banging on the door and the guy was yelling break break. Police and i heard the phone hit the table and i could still hear them get in goes duty. Your calls the moments of his rescue as well so they sit in a team of police officers. Fbi and they busted in the door and they arrested him and they took me out nfl. Last time i ever saw jeff was pulled from that super motel arrested and charged with the aggravated kidnapping of jodi during his arrest. Jeff phoned a friend. Tell him he was only guilty of bad judgment. He was denying what was being said of him. Jeff at also told a friend that he was using. Jody pressure june in joining him in california. All bullshit by the way he was then taken to the orange county california jail in my now. The media had taken hold of this story especially in his hometown of baton rouge louisiana so when i was kidnapped and i was going to be returned to new orleans on. Moore's first they had a camera crew. They're killing me being returned and being reunited with.

"And. That's where his mother and sister live. That's where he was from. Okay so why. The hell is jody with jeff on this excursion. And what exactly is going on here. Here's jody on what happened next. We say we just sunday night. And then the next day we went to another port louisiana looking for money basically. We didn't have any money. Okay so let's unpacked. Some of what is going on here. Jeff borrowed the car belonging to the mom of a little boy. He teaches karate to he said little boy with him but they don't go where they said that they were going the grab clothes and camping equipment and then jeff takes jodi out of state and we assume that right now alarm bells are probably going off in your head and have been for some time. Now they're going off and ours too but remember it's nineteen eighty four and it's unclear at what point jody's parents would have realized that jodi was actually missing and it's not like jeff had a cell phone that they could call at anytime of the day so at this point. Just imagine the paralyzed state of jody's family. Who do you call. would you do. And how the hell do you track down your kid okay. And last time jodi spoke. He said something about jeff driving around and looking for money. So let's unpack that a little bit. So here's the thing that no one could have known. Jeff had a history of fraud. And he's young so no one's expecting him to have this so he tried to students to the national karate circuit by selling lsu mugs and tiger rags to football fans in the area seem super wholesome. This is like sporting stuff little like memorabilia. Little like accessories. Should you buy it like gift shop at a stadium. Right so seems pretty wholesome. I'd buy a mug from acute kidney. Crotty inform if they were selling it to get to a competition. But here's the thing people would buy them but no mugs are or things that they bought ever arrive. So this is a great mug caper that occurred but in addition to that jeff also pass bad checks pass so in fact he was supposed to appear in court on the very same day. He asked to borrow jody's mom's car on february nineteenth of eighty four. So speaking of jody's mom's car. What do we think jody's parents are thinking at this point. So they also don't have their car and their ten year. Old son is missing. Luckily though jody's parents had received word at this point about what was going on and it put their minds at ease ever so slightly into briefly but this call did not come from jeff himself so that sunday night jeff. Mother called my mother instead. Jody's with jeff. Don't worry he's bringing him home. Tamar okay so. My mother was too thrilled about that yet. No mother is going to be thrilled about this. And you could put yourself jody's mom shoes. You're trying not to be upset. You're trying not to think. The worst in give jeff the benefit of the doubt and remember jodi had gone with jeff on overnight trips countless times for karate related purposes. But this time was different. This wasn't a set trip that everybody knew about. It's not really a surprise. That i while annoy jody's mom. June didn't really freak out about this something to note about this time in the lives of that play family jody's mom june. Her husband gary had recently begun the process of separated right and dissolving marriage is obviously a very potentially painful and a contentious chain of events and it not only be a huge distraction but a very stressful event for literally anybody involved so in an effort to help jeff would do things like dr jody to and from crotty class and that was a huge help to mother june jeff june had developed a close relationship over time one that pivoted into a friendship as well sure and the depths of june ingests relationship are not super clear but a lot of media reports described. Their relationship as intimate. Although it's not written anywhere that anything ever turned physical between them. But i think from the position of optics. They were closer than what anyone would expect. What we do know for sure is that there was a lot of trust built between jeff and the pla shea family by this point especially with june so it lends itself to this whole idea that she's not freaking out at first like she doesn't think the worst of this guy at least in the beginning will in this kind of reminds me a little bit of abducted in plain sight because the abductor in that movie was one of the families best friends they built so much trust in everybody a relationship with him differently but the main you know underlying thing is they trusted him and he took advantage of that trust right in the naievty that people had back then because they didn't have things like true crime podcast or or shows like abducted in plain sight to watch there. Were so many niceties to like. You didn't accuse someone if you were wrong. Like it was just different. You didn't think that these people were lurking around. And i'm sure back. In the day people cared a lot more about their perception and how everybody saw them so for you to like publicly kind of accuse somebody of doing that. It would reflect poorly on your character. Not saying that they were doing this in that situation but probably a lot of families back in the eighty s and even earlier in the seventies sixties wouldn't dare let anybody know what was happening behind closed doors and having grown up in the eighties and i remember. There is actually a teacher. That was that i'm getting very jeff vibes from and then he would do things like take kids out on trips and then he would do like a cross country trip every year with these kids and parents would let him and at one point. I believe he was starting to like like. He took me in three of their friends to a harlem globetrotters basketball game. And i like he was going to potentially asked me to go on this trip. And my dad's like no frigging way in hell. You're going on this trip. But my dad had been to prison and everything so he knew how bad shit was out there. But you're right. There wasn't a lot of stuff out there that was a but other people were just letting their kids go on. These trips with this guy remembers the eighties. Like they were pretending. Gay people didn't exist or that they were choosing it and it was this like reckless choice. It's like to suggest that your son could be abused by. Your teacher was just like the could not go there. Won't it's the same thing that we talked about recently. I can't remember which podcasts it was in but it's like the whole stranger. Danger was like so huge and you could never assume that somebody that you knew would be the person that could ever do something bad to a family member when in reality again. It's like the most likely suspect is going to be made. That is and this is when all you know. Obviously all those things that were going on with priests too. That's the other thing that i'm starting to think about and then scout scott leaders and all that yup totally. So there's something else you want to revisit real quick on the heels of something jodi told us so this whole idea that jeff's mom call jody's mom to tell her that jeff jody where together and jeff had him and there's nothing to worry about..

"And as the placebo has got more and more involved re karate. Jeff became more and more of a fixture in the families orbit. You have to remember. Jeff is only twenty four.

He's thrilled that his family is welcoming him in and he's getting the sense of community that most people crave jody's parents were thirty. Nine year olds.

"Today's case will test. The question is violence ever vindicated. We've talked about vigilante justice before and we've urged those listening to me. Never take the law into your own hands no matter what but one way or another. We can imagine a hypothetical scenario where we can imagine going after someone who hurt one of our loved ones. People can be driven to do almost anything if the sting of betrayal is so great or if we're gutted by law so painful that revenge is the only option. Today's episode should act as a warning and reminder to would be criminals everywhere you should never justify causing harm in any capacity because of justice system in britain of punishment may not be the only patents. You're forced to pay remember when you harm others children. Especially there's always that chance you could pay with your life so the setting today's case is baton rouge louisiana. It's the state capitol. It's it's an hour away from new orleans back in the sixteen. Hundreds the french call this area lay baton rouge meaning red stick because it marked boundary between two different tribal hunting grounds excellent pronunciation. William no very fancy. Today's case spans a pretty broad spectrum of time so we're going to refer back to the mid eighty s nine hundred eighty three and eighty four songs. Topping the charts. Were billie jean. By michael jackson every breath you take by the police jump by van. Halen when doves cry by prince and footloose by kenny. Loggins that is a whole string of heads. I know but wait until you hear the movies. This is just the best time ever. The movies in theaters included the outsiders star wars. Return of the jedi. Sixteen candles which is one of my. All time fades indiana jones and the temple of doom. It was what a time to be alive. Yes absolutely and our first degree. Today is jody shea who is now forty nine years old but like jack just said. We're back in the early eighties when jodi was just ten. It's sorted when i was in fifth grade. I was in class and hand out forms for like extracurricular activity. Will i got a forum for karate lessons like tin karate lessons for thirty nine dollars or whatever it wasn't i crumpled up literally into it in the garbage. Can well by younger brother. He was going to elementary school the same school district. He brought us flyer home so my mother saw the fire. It was like oh that would be good. We can put him in the karate. Jody wasn't interested in karate but his mom who is near june was interested in keeping her son's busy after school so she enrolled jody and his brothers in a half kito school which is for martial arts in karate so my mom was like well. I'll put mike karate and i'll just above dirty. My older brother and mike younger brother poor pretending to karate together and so she signed us up and also her best friend. Her son signed to sousa force. We go to one of the lessons in his. I mean it was real basic and we'd go back to the second lesson like a week later or a couple of days later we'll guy doesn't show up you go back for the third left and he doesn't show up again. The programs regular karate teacher was a wall so new one was hired the organization that sponsors distraught lesson. Turn the names of the people over to this new karate instructor named jeff do set and jeff called got in contact with the family instead that he would honor these lessons but they'd already paid or and if they liked it they continue on karate teacher. Jeff do set was twenty four years old and originally from port arthur texas which is about three hours west of baton rouge. So here's a little background on him. He was one of seven kids. His father was a service station owner. Jeff actually dropped out of school in the ninth grade and eventually moved to baton rouge and upon his move. He was pretty lonely guy. He didn't really have any friends or family in this new city that he just kind of picked up and moved to teaching. Karate was jeff's main source of income but also had a side hustle of laying down carpets with his brother who was based back in port arthur. Texas what it was karate that became the center of jeff's life even lived in the quarters at the karate studio. He immersed himself in the lives of the students. He taught he became friends with the families and created his social circle that way. So here's jeff in an interview about martial arts talking about the sport homeboys wrist locks. Show colds that. Come from judah. Jody by all accounts really enjoyed his new karate instructor. We thought it was pretty cool. I mean he had. He had a real karate studio joe. I'm he had matched on the floor. He had a another area with a heavy bag. And i mean it was. It was a gym training so we thought it was. It was pretty cool so you know we had fun doing it. And as it turned out jodi and his brother should tremendous potential in the sport so after a couple of lessons. Jeff go saw mother and he's like look. Your kids are really athletic. Really good you know. We have a competitive fighting team. They possibly could join it and it just so happened. They had tournament coming up this particular weekend and he invited all the kids. You know to go see a movie called. They told me bruce. It was a karate movie. So jeff told jody's parents that he was taking the students on the competitive fighting team to see they. Call me bruce. Instead of the that they do before any tournaments they go out for pizza. Go watch a movie you know. And then they traveled to. I think it was a new orleans. Travel new old and fight the next day but this is something that do regularly fighting gene does jodi went to the tournament and excelled and then he went to another and then another and as jody remembers it. Karate became a central part of his life and even as parents got to know entrust their karate teacher. Jeff jody your calls one particular night when jeff arrange for group of his students to go to the famous chuck cheese. And who doesn't love to go to chucky cheese loved chucky cheese off debt. We went out that night. We went to chucky cheese. My somebody dad got the medium. And you know your. I'm ten years old by brothers seven and we're running around the movie. It was great. Every kid's dream. Jody is hanging out with his brother. His karate coach who had opened this world up to him and his parents are getting involved too so he was stoudt and as the placebo has got more and more involved re karate. Jeff became more and more of a fixture in the families orbit. You have to remember. Jeff is only twenty four. He's a young guy and he doesn't know anyone in baton rouge so we're sure. He's thrilled that his family is welcoming him in and he's getting the sense of community that most people crave jody's parents were thirty. Nine year olds. Gary in june and they really liked jeff in the boys saw him sort of like an uncle figure. One particular time jody's at gary brought jeff home with them for family dinner and gave him spare clothes to change into and after that jeff would start bringing the boys home from karate he would take them tournaments as well as other fun activities connected to the fight team. There was real trust built between jeff in that family but on february nineteenth nineteen eighty-four that trust would be shaken to the core was january nineteenth. Nineteen eighty-four it was a sunday morning. He asked my my little border.

We think that saturday is going to be one of the biggest saturday's we've ever had 'cause you start with entertainment at two o'clock and you don't finish up until seven thirty at the free stage was chased back so it's really exciting and then on sunday. I don't wanna send solo sewer short but on sunday. We have darcy lynn farmer. The ventriloquist will be here sunday. That's going to be an afternoon. Show coming family. Show three o'clock in the afternoon really good interest in that to read all the tickets. We just we're able to take the accident. We had booked for twenty twenty and them all over so we ray will now some people other taking their money back. Some people want to keep your tickets so it really had a jump. Start on selling tickets because some people just want those checks and keep them and it really roll forward nicely so so. We're very excited about the entertainment. All we have a lot of things happening are free Free stage two. We have a hypnotist ron. Diamond getting all sorts of other free events on stage the people's bank and trust for stage. That's fun i i like that. There's a mix of of the the paid. You know kind of marquee events but then you have the entertainment around the fairgrounds as well. Now when you're thinking about things to do at the fair obviously that comes a lot of walking a lot of eating what other what other things are. People going to find within the state fair obviously a lot of commerce. Maybe lots of of things to learn about Things like that we we call it and it's a huge event for for the state of kansas We call it a kansas largest classroom. We end up having twenty fourteen thousand students on on the fairgrounds and they can learn from everything about the go to the birthing center that we have They can go to the dairy parlor. They can look at our pollinator gardens all sorts of things as a great learning setting in environment and we have now designated building for education center. And we think there's just gonna be all sorts of exciting things happening there of. We always have new competitions twenty nineteen. We had a butter sculpting contest and that proved to be very bored. I guess people get a pound of butter stuff out of a merger. Exactly how that works and we also have a beer brewing contest as well which we have to have an advanced so those are things that again we had between nineteen people always fascinated with the large draft horses and we'll have a draft horse parade while also have some activities involving the draft horses barrel racing in that gun thing. So that's going to be really unique. And i think that's going to have appeal to him to a certain part of our audience and then of course we have to Kind of our light days and so what we've done is is four dollars after four on tuesday and thursday if you wanna come out after school or bring your family out after school. Four bucks invasion. We think that's going to be very important. Rosza gonna do some. We'd not have done before as a pub crawl Thursday evening abandoned.

Hope y'all all over the the Real excited about that as well. so again there's countless things to do at the kansas state fear. I think i'm just listening to you. Talk one of the things that has really struck me is the kansas has more. I i wanna say almost western culture to the state fair then you find in fairs that are further to the east you. You mentioned You know bulls and bull riding your vice in and a few other things that just really really struck me as having kind of that wild west feel to it and i think that that probably makes the kansas state fair quite unique for the midwest as well i certainly are are resurrected cultural and we have we draw heavily from the western two-thirds of the state to the state fair so there's a lot of agricultural interests. There's you again you all sorts of things. You have the governor's cookie jar. Somebody cookies ins judge being the best and we give that to the governor and then there's largest watermelon largest pumpkin. All those kinds of things. Roy celebrate celebrate. Kansas agriculture. Things have changed a bit in kansas. I'm sure they have every place. One time.

Don't figuring in mathematics and working with with the numbers that went into choosing just the perfect time yet so when the fair started it actually was held in october october. Twenty fifth eighteen fifty four And if you've ever been in iowa in october It could be miserable. We could have snow could have is. It can be bitterly cold. It could also be a beautiful day And so the fair sort of hopped around for a bit in the octobber. September range Mostly because it was hooked to agriculture. So it was a time when maybe the crops were ready to compete or farmer wasn't in the field in come to the fair so that's sort of how the date was developed in. It slowly moved back to august In we've had a few days like a week and then we've gone up to eleven days in eleven days Spot and we know that from staff here. You know that first week gun really busy. We're kind of working the kinks out. And then we get through that next part of the week. And we've by j in we strategically place it. So people have enough time to enjoy everything but that they don't get bored with you know maybe having at last over time there are other figures like for example. Texas does a whole month And they take like a couple of days off here and there which we try different things over the years than this sorta seems to be the window. That's fast right before school.
